Dakar-Organiser A.S.O. eventually to start new Rallyraid-Race Series

January 21, 2008 -- The leaders of Amaury Sport Organization (A.S.O) were meeting on Monday and Tuesday in Budapest (Hungary) discussing the possibilities of starting a new race series. During the meeting, the topic of Hungary being the first stage of the new race series planned by the A.S.O has come up. The negotiations in this matter will presumably continue soon.

Dr. Istvan Ujhelyi, the state secretary of Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, also responsible for sports, believes that our country will have a great chance to home the first stage of the race if negotiations offer favorable conditions for Hungary.
